We do have a test helper for this, which is the first patch in the
series.  This rev-parse option is designed to be useful to scripters
more than anything else, and it will make an appearance in a later

I sent it here since it's vaguely useful for tests and I also wanted to
make sure it was available sooner rather than later so folks can start
using it.
